"My body grows older, and my thoughts cultivate #verve that only broadens. Reaching the precipice where intelligence gets married to wisdom. A balance achieved between coming and going, blessedly picky. Done with caterwauling for the scraps of maybe. I've paid for my meat and drink of all ages."

"It is pleasant to recall when I measured time by pencil marks for my height in the doorway. Reading adventures of children in box cars and fake gold leaf covered storybooks. The months didn't matter, the weeks were an afterthought, the times were crystal waters. My paradise before I knew too much."

"This is my chorus call of gratitude for a day that has gladdened my heart. Tiny motes of starlight that are gifted me at dusk. My desirous spirit was not fatigued after the days labours. I've been laughing for the sensation of the happiness I feel. You cannot take from me my wishes."

As Congress works to end the government shutdown, it’s crucial to remind your elected officials to pass clean spending bills.

The initial House bill, H.R. 4754, included harmful riders, including Section 128, which would remove protections for gray wolves in 44 states.

"I possess a hunger for her. Impeccable nails mixed with cheap perfume. The quiet defiance that is her beckoning me to the parlor with a mouthful of promises. A vision of tawdry elegant softness, with hard edges I adore the most. I cherish her face too much to let her hide behind a mask."

#poetry

We fall in line, waiting patient
Like the queue will sort our route
Growing worry, staying dormant
Trying to assuage doubt
But the line's going nowhere
There's others cutting queues
To get ahead, just anywhere
What should we all do?

Abandon lines
Rush the door
With the queue
Want no more

"I know the thoughts of the ghosts in the fields. My lips form their names in the afternoon quiet, with the wind for company. Phantoms of the land, with the #ash beneath the soil for a legacy. We exchange gossip forming a bridge between astral and earthbound. They don't lie to me. The living do."
